One of Allison’s favorite Christmas decorations is a Mistletoe of Mrs. and Mrs. Claus. This was her grandmothers and it is something that is very old and very delicate. It hangs between the dining room and the hallway. There was one year where we never took it down.
While Andy is on the mend I am starting to feel a bit run down but am keeping any sickness at bay. This is the time of year when sickness tends to catch me, though. Changing up any schedules and routines. Slowing down allows the sickness to catch up. Let’s hope I get through with very little catching me.
This year we got a new Christmas tree. We bought an artificial tree that was 9 feet tall. With a much larger base than previous trees the tree skirt that we already had was much too small to cover the base. Because of this Allison found an alternative to a tree skirt for our tree and it is a tree collar box. I had never heard of these before but I like the look of it and am glad that we got it. We have another one for the front porch tree, but that one looks different and we haven’t put that together yet because it was pouring out there tonight.
